If Lexus doesn't deliver it, some other company will provide an upgrade. I can't imagine why they would not want to move aggressively on a product like that. It's not all that innovative any more. Chevy's have been advertising this for a couple of years now.

As innovative as Lexus wants to be, they always seem to be behind on things like this. How long did it take them before the GX got HID lights? Seems like just last year or 2 years ago, now that LED is the light of the future. I won't hold my breath on this option, but will add it if it ever comes available.

Educate me please but besides the remote start thing, I don't find Res+ all that useful, especially at $1,000 a pop and monthly service fee. My car already locks itself and I don't need to monitor it like a baby. What am I missing?

Enform is pretty useless to me also. Lots of cool factor though. LOL

Although, I was hoping this service would have allowed to keep the AC on while locked...for my dog.

$65 a year isn't bad but the unit installed is something like $1,000, parts and labor. You can start the car, take the key out of the fob and lock the door. There, I just saved you $1K+. LOL

Yep, same here. They wanted to know if I thought it was something that I'd purchase (hell yea) and which features were most important. It must be coming soon.

One of the features I wanted in a new car, because I'm ready to be spoiled a little, was in Winter I wanted a car that I could start from inside the house while I'm getting ready to go and have the car send me a text when the temp inside is at 70 degrees. Res+ gets pretty close to that goal. I'd pay another 2% of why I already paid, to have that feature. I'd also use it in Palm Springs when it's 110 degrees outside.

Interesting. They changed the car compatibility list page. It now forwards you to an irrelevant enform page now. I'm hoping it is really released soon. Wishful thinking, but I hope they update it to not shut off when the door is opened.
